Which table shows two steps of DNA replication?

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The 2nd Table

Explanation:

DNA Polymerase is used in DNA replication and attaches Adenine to Thymine and Cytosine to Guarine (Remember it is always A to T and C to G). The 3rd table would be incorrect because cytosine doesn't attach to thymine. The 1st table would be incorrect because Uracil is used in RNA replication, not DNA replication.
